I dropped my bags in my apartment and came straight to Dad's office.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, Cody," he told me earlier today. "I'm proud of everything you've accomplished over the last three months, son. You did something not too many other people would be able to pull off. You turned your life around."
I nod. I'm wearing a conservative black suit as befits the surroundings.
"You'll be leading up one of the currency trading desks we have," Dad tells me as we walk through the trading floor later on that day towards his office. "I'm sure if you exhibit the same drive as you did the last three months, you'll be moving up soon enough."
I nod to him and get to work.
I know, I could probably take the day off considering I just started. But I want to get off on the right foot. Do a good job. And do better than anyone else.
To make Kim proud.
Four.
That's what time it is right now as I walk towards Dad's office. We have a meeting to go over first quarter goals.
I'm heading there when I see a familiar shape in his office.
That ass.
I dream about it every fucking night.
That voice.
It lulls me to sleep.
I was supposed to surprise her tomorrow.
But she's already here.
I can't help it.
"And why is that?" my Dad asks Kim.
"Because I
love him," she says to him.
I can't help myself.
I reach out and touch her on the shoulder.
Kim
“Cody!” I cry out, jumping out from my chair. My eyes widen as I see him, and I feel tears welling up in my eyes. Pressing my body against hers, I wraps my arms around him and he just pulls me into him. He hugs me back and, with him so close to me, I realize that it was all worth it - all this wait, all the sacrifice… All the sleepless nights thinking of him… It was all worth it.
He became a different man - a man that I can love.
“I love you, Kim. So fucking much,” he whispers, holding me so tightly I can feel his heart beating.
“I love you too… And I… Oh, I’ve missed you so much, Cody,” I mutter, and he wipes the one tear falling out from the corner of my eyes.
“I’m here now,” he simply tells me, then looking back at his Dad. He’s sitting behind his massive oak desk, a proud smile on his face. Without a single word, he just nods at us both, approving of everything. He has been waiting for this moment for far too long - his son finally turned into a real man, and he found the right woman.
“Thank you, Dad. For everything,” Cody says as he takes his arms from around me.
“No. I should be the one thanking you both,” he says, and I notice that his eyes are watering. He’s so proud he’s close to crying. “You are making this old man really happy.” He stands up from his desk and, placing his hands on the flat surface, just gives us a wide smile.
